- Greetings from Arval!
-
- Dagonell had asked:
-
- > Question: where does someone with a Duchy/County/Vicounty rank WITHOUT a

-
- Tadhg answered:

-
- Tadhg, please keep in mind that precedence is determined kingdom-by-
- kingdom, with the exception of a few details mentioned in Corpora (e.g.,
- the Laurel, Pelican, and Chivalry rank equally). The rank of royal peers
- is NOT specified in Corpora, and can vary from kingdom to kingdom. I
- believe there is at least one kingdom in which the patent determines
- precedence, not the royal peerage title.
